Sneaker Smiley

Another birthday girl for today is Susan Dey (1952) — and a bunch of other people I don’t recognize. To one and all, known and unknown, happy birthday!

Oh then there’s Mighty Mouse. It’s his birthday, too–he debuted this day in 1942.

Over on a month full of Smiley Silliness it’s Sneaky Sneaker Day featuring my all time, long loved, Converse Jack Purcell Sneakers. The Smiley Sneaker you see here is different than the one on the Monthly Calendar.

Plus, as is often the case, the Beer Smiley you get in the Smiley-a-Day emailer is different from what you see here.
